Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Harley-Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom pairs a 1584 cc (96.7 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 68 HP (49.6 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 123 Nm (90.7 lb-ft) at 3,125 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 42.9 HP per liter and a 2,375 rpm working window between peak torque (3,125 rpm) and peak power (5,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom measures 308 kg (679 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.53 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,630 mm (64.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19.3-liter (5.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
